Exmouth Rotary has been formed in 2021 through the merger of The Rotary Clubs of Exmouth & District and  Exmouth Raleigh. We have retained the charter information of the Exmouth & District Club (the 'mother' club) which was formed way back in 1925. This means our proud centenary celebration occurred in December 2025.

Our membership is slowly decreasing and this means we will be putting all of our energy into ensuring the club continues to flourish into its 101st year and, hopefully, for many years beyond that, We meet every two weeks on a Monday evening for a light meal, for fellowship and to plan future activities. On other weeks we often take part in other activities, both charitable and social. We always have a full programme of charitable and social events that take place throughout the year. We support local, national and international charities with emphasis on those in the Exmouth & Budleigh Salterton area. We also support the global Rotary charity, called Rotary Foundation, which has been successful for many years with such initiatives as the "End Polio Now" programme. We are always ready to respond quickly to emergencies and natural disasters anywhere in the world. You will often see us on the streets of Exmouth doing our bit to improve the lives of people who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Whilst doing charitable work is both rewarding and commendable, fellowship and fun are also important aspects of Rotary, so we usually have a small dinner together on club evenings and hold a variety of social events for our members and their partners. In brief, our members have great fun while supporting a large range of charities and worthwhile causes.

Our Presidents for 2026/27

For the Rotary year 2026/27 three Presidents will share the role on a 4-monthly basis.

Christine, Sue and Chris have outlined their priorities and hopes as follows: "Last year was a very special year for us being our centenary year and we hope that we achieved something special. We  got off to a good start with our centenary logo on one of the sponsored Exmouth in Bloom flower boats, the collection for 100 shoeboxes that are now hopefully already brightening 100 young lives, and the new barbeques on the Maer. But we are planning to do more, with a proposed tiny forest of 100 trees, and  donating a centenary bench in the Magnolia Centre. We had a celebration lunch in May to which many Rotarians from other clubs were invited together with many friends, both old and new.  We are hoping to expand our membership and encourage visits from people we meet at the various functions that we organise. We will continue to support the Food Bank on a regular basis and other local charities and groups will be supported, together with a regular input into International Rotary projects like Shelter Box and the End Polio Campaign.  Young people are important to us and Rotary Youth Competitions will be introduced once again to local schools and colleges.  Last year we had a national winner in the Young Writer competition, a student at Exmouth Community College.

This year,for the first time we are breaking with tradition and have three women Rotarians acting as Presidents.  Christine Peacock, Sue Moreton and Chris Spurling.  This is an interesting approach which I am sure will turn out well."
